sarsip: "terrified ... that was the best-case scenario."
sarsip: [look at the graph]\
sarsip: it's all about the dashed line at the bottom
sarsip: 1918: "Mortuaries ran out of caskets. When the bodies finally reached cemeteries, the gravediggers were so ill, there was no one to bury the dead."
sarsip: hoarders, you will need quicklime and shovels
sarsip: It doesn't mean we're all going to die ... it just means we didn't build enough hospitals and morgues (yet)
sarsip: that's why the chinese responded by building hospitals (and morgues, presumably)
sarsip: which is why they're currently (presumably) getting back to work and getting on with their lives, rather than picking plague-ridden fleas out of their dishevelled hair
sarsip: we've had months to get busy ... do you see any construction work where you are?
sarsip: answers on back of an envelope and send to your local representative

...virus is ravaging rich countries. What happens when it hits the poor ones?

sarsip: this article is cursory, I see very little discussion anywhere on the potential or projected effects in places with failed or non-existing governments, high population density and climate amenable to viral proliferation
sarsip: anyone?
sarsip: ie, I see very little discussion or awareness in western media of the need for intervention in developing countries or failed states, even where this awareness may be regrettably based in self-interest
sarsip: trump has prepared to deploy his hospital ships to ... USA
sarsip: self-interest is why supermarket shelves are empty
sarsip: generally a bad strategy, even by its own measure
sarsip: the stab and face in the channel title are presumed to belong to the same individual as doing the stabbing, for those who missed the joke
sarsip: welcome.
